Eric has been in Microsoft UK for twelve years and has spent most of that time helping ISVs to explore and adopt the latest technologies and tools from Microsoft.

His current focus is working with ISVs to help them take advantage of .NET Framework 3.5 and IIS 7.0 in their solutions.

Before joining Microsoft, Eric was a Unix developer working exclusively with C and 4GLs, writing high-performance calculation engines and delivering line of business solutions built on top of Sybase, Ingres and other RDBMS packages.
